Outside Jinling City, Guo Rong squinted his eyes and looked at the majestic city from a distance, his eyes were deep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Kuangyin was on the side, silent for a while, and said, "Lord Wang, the fire in the city is getting smaller and smaller. ”

"In other words, the situation in the city is basically settled, but I don't know, who will have the last laugh?" Guo Rong said, there was an urge to know the result as soon as possible, but he knew that no. Because in either case, if he appears in the city, he will die for a lifetime.

"It should be Li Hongji, right?" Zhao Kuangyin guessed that after all, Yang Lian was dead, and although the King of Qi had military power, he was not capable enough and was easily defeated by Li Hongji.

"I hope so." Guo Rong said, sighing slightly, Yang Lian is a good opponent, if he can fight with such an opponent on the battlefield, it will be a happy thing, but the battle for the world is not a child's play, there is a strong opponent like Yang Lian, although it is a fast thing, but it is difficult to say whether the winner or loser. As for Li Hongji, although he has a lot of talent in leading troops, it is not how powerful the monarch is in leading troops, but whether he will use people, after all, once Li Hongji is proclaimed emperor, it is impossible to personally lead the troops.

The two watched silently for a long time, and Shi Shouxin walked over quickly and said, "Lord Wang, you can go." ”

"Let's go!" Guo Rong said, returned to the cabin, and after sitting down, he took out a map, pointed to a place, and said: "This place is an important place, no matter who wins Jinling, I must go to this place." ”

"Hailing?" Zhao Kuangyin was stunned.

"Here are the descendants of Yang Wu, you can use them in the future." Guo Rong laughed.

"Lord, what do you mean?" Shi Shouxin asked puzzled.

"It's very simple, I heard that Yang Lian is a descendant of Yang Wu, Li Hongji once attacked him in the name of this, but it didn't succeed. Regardless of whether it is or not, if Li Hongji succeeds, in the future, when the Great Zhou goes south, he can attack the Tang Dynasty for the purpose of Yang Wu. On the other hand, if Yang Lian wins, and we have his relatives, Yang Lian will inevitably throw a bogey! Guo Rong smiled.

Shi Shouxin suddenly realized, gave a thumbs up, and said, "The prince is wise." ”

Zhao Kuangyin also laughed and said: "The words of the prince are very reasonable, but outside the Yongning Palace, there are many Tang soldiers guarding them, and it is not an easy task to exterminate them. ”

"This doesn't matter, since I chose to go to Hailing, I must have been prepared." Guo Rong said, took out a book from his arms, shook it, and said, "As long as there is this, Yongning Palace will be successful." ”

The sky was getting darker and darker, Yang Lian stood on the imperial city, looked around, the fire had gradually been extinguished, the whole city, slowly quieted down, the evening breeze blew, and the thick smell of blood came out, making people's noses itchy and very uncomfortable.

Standing behind Yang Lian was Zhou Ye, who sighed and said, "In Jinling City today, there are enough dead people. ”

"That's enough, and hopefully it won't happen again. General Zhou, you have paid too much, how can Ben Hou thank you? Yang Lian said.

Zhou Ye took a step back, half-knelt down, and said: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to retract this, in Zhou's heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will always be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Great Wu, not Marquis Wu." ”

"It's not the time yet, I need to wait." Yang Lian shook his head, turned around, helped Zhou Ye up, and said: "Today's words, only you know what I know, and I must not let others know, if it is not through righteousness, how can I succeed?" ”

Zhou Ye nodded silently, when the Xu family replaced Yang Wu, after two generations of Xu Wen and Xu Zhihe, he finally replaced Yang Wu relatively peacefully. Just imagine, if Xu Wen and Xu Zhihe had adopted violent means back then, the Yang Wu court would inevitably split, and other forces would have been given an opportunity to take advantage of.

Yang Lian's current situation is the same, so Yang Lian also needs to slowly manage his own forces. In order to cultivate his own power, Xu Wen gave up Guangling, which the Yang family had been operating for decades, and instead sent his son to operate in Jinling and Runzhou.

"Today's coup d'état, great changes have taken place in the court, King Yan and his party have suffered heavy casualties, and Li Jing's inherent power has also fallen apart because of his death, and has turned to the body of King Qi. General Zhou, Jinling has changed, and it is inevitable that there will be some festivals in various places that make people have bad intentions, especially the generals in the border areas, who are likely to collude with others. I'm going to make you the envoy of the Shouzhou Festival, what do you think? Yang Lian asked suddenly.

"It is an honor for Weichen to serve the prince and the marquis." Zhou Ye said.

Yang Lian laughed, stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Lu Yao knows that Ma Ma has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, General Zhou is a loyal minister, Ben Hou has a deep understanding, don't worry, one day, what you want, Ben Hou can achieve it!" ”

Zhou Ye nodded.

At this time, footsteps sounded behind the two, and it turned out to be the injured Gao Ze who slowly paced over. Gao Ze had a broken arm, his face was like gold paper, and the imperial doctor had already bandaged him, telling him that he had just lost too much blood and that there was no big problem.

"Master Hou, King Qi, no, Your Majesty is invited." Gao Ze said.

Yang Lian turned his head, looked at him, looked at him, and said, "Gonggong Gao is simply fine, and Benhou is relieved." ”

"Thanks to Wu Hou's blessing." Gao Ze laughed, but the corners of his mouth were a little bitter.

"Let's go!" Yang Lian said briefly and left first. Gao Ze followed closely, and Zhou Ye paced with his hands in his hands, still patrolling the city wall. The situation has not yet fully stabilized, and at least there are still many people who are missing.

In the Chongdao Palace, Li Jingsui was pacing slowly, and he felt a great headache. It has been more than ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but this situation has never been encountered, father and son cannibalize, fratricide, today's Jinling, I don't know how many people died in this coup?

Li Jingsui was heartbroken, but no matter how heartbroken he was, what could he do? Yang Lian didn't die today, which was an unexpected surprise for him, but there were some things he couldn't understand, why did the imperial brother die? This is the biggest headache for him.

Li Jingsui paced for a long time, and Yang Lian finally came.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty." Yang Lian walked in and bowed his hand, he was still wearing armor, so he performed a military salute.

Li Jingsui's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Wu Hou doesn't need to be polite, come, sit down here, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Yang Lian arched his hand and walked over.

The two sat opposite each other, and Li Jingsui asked people to serve tea and snacks, and said, "If something like this happened today, you must have not eaten either." ”

When Li Jingsui said this, Yang Lian still felt a little hungry, so he thanked him, picked up the snack and ate it slowly.

Li Jingsui was on the side, slowly drinking tea, for a long time, and then said: "Today Li Hongji suddenly grabbed me and imprisoned me, there are many things I don't know, Wu Hou, tell me, what happened?" How did the royal brother die? ”

Li Jing's inquiry Yang Lian had expected it, he naturally thought about it in advance, so he changed the matter and said it, the Son of Heaven was naturally killed by Li Hongji, and when he arrived, it was already too late. Yang Lian shook his head, stood up, and bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, it was the mistake of Weichen that caused such a situation to happen, and I hope Your Majesty will punish you." Yang Lian said.

Li Jingsui smiled bitterly, punished? How to punish it? Yang Lian is his confidant and his son-in-law, this relationship is naturally needless to say, and the more critical thing is that in this coup, almost all of the Li family died.

Li Hongji's rebellion was killed, Li Jingda, an accomplice, was also imprisoned, and other sons such as the emperor's brother, Li Congshan, King Zheng, Li Congyi, King Deng, Li Congqian, King Ji, Li Congjia, the prince of Anding County, and others were either killed by Li Hongji, or by the rangers who took the opportunity to make trouble in the city.

However, Li Jingsui has no son, and Li Jingda is in danger and rebellion, so it is impossible to keep him. Since then, the Li family has only left him and Princess Huairou, how desolate.

In this way, for him, although Wu Hou's surname is Yang, he is a son-in-law, a son-in-law and half a son, in this case, Li Jingsui cannot punish him at all.

Li Jingsui waved his hand and said, "Today, thanks to your quelling of the rebellion, the Tang Dynasty has been able to continue, for now, what do you think?" ”

"The top priority at the moment is that Your Majesty proclaims the world, ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, and at the same time, amnesty the world, and the festival envoys from all over the country send people to comfort them, reward them first, and then transfer them when the situation stabilizes." Yang Lian said.

Li Jingsui's eyes tightened, and he said, "You mean that someone will take the opportunity to rebel?" ”

"Have you ever heard such a saying, Your Majesty? The Son of Heaven is the one who is strong in soldiers and horses. Although the Tang Dynasty recovered Wuyue, Shandong and other places, the world is undecided, Zhou, Khitan, Shu, etc., are all opponents of the Tang Dynasty, these people are likely to take advantage of the internal instability of the Tang Dynasty, secretly colluding with dissident Jiedu envoys, and must not be taken lightly. Yang Lian said.

Li Jingsui nodded, thinking back to many things after the end of the Tang Dynasty, this is indeed very possible, and he has to guard against it.

"Actively pacify internally and actively defend externally, as long as we survive this year, things will improve next year." Yang Lian said again.

"It's easier said than done." Li Jingsui was still a little worried, with a worried look, he knew his personality, in fact, it was difficult to be a monarch, but now that he didn't sit in this position, the Tang Dynasty would immediately fall apart.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Datang still has a lot of loyal ministers." Yang Lian laughed.

Li Jingsui nodded, his heart gradually settled down, the appearance of the six gods without the owner just now gradually disappeared, he settled down, and said: "Wu Hou, I heard that the hostages of the Zhou Kingdom disappeared, but is there any news of him?" ”

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Guo Rong can be described as a martial artist and a difficult opponent. This time he contacted Li Hongji to rebel, in fact, there was another purpose, Weichen sent people to look for them in the city, but they never found their whereabouts, thinking that they had escaped from Jinling. ”

"Since this person is so powerful, he should immediately order all the customs and passes to be strictly investigated, and this person must not be allowed to escape from Datang!" Li Jingsui's heart tightened and said, but he was thinking in his heart, this Guo Rong is really so powerful?

"Your Majesty's words are very good." Yang Lian said, guessing in his heart that Guo Rong would take which route to escape? The border between Datang and Dazhou stretches for thousands of miles, and there are places where there is no danger to defend, and it is relatively simple for Guo Rong and others to escape.

Li Jingsui didn't see what Yang Lian thought, and when he saw Yang Lian's approval, he immediately asked people to get pen and ink, and first ordered all localities to strictly investigate in the name of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and Guo Rong must not be allowed to escape.

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Lian comforted him with kind words, and only then did he get up and leave.

Yang Lian walked out of Chongdao Palace, looked up at the sky, the moon looked very weird tonight, a blood red, Yang Lian slowly paced in the palace, to this point, it can only be said that his first step of the plan is completed, and next, it is to follow Xu Wen, not in a hurry to consolidate his power, until one day, the water is a matter of course, that is called perfect.

When Yang Lian was thinking, footsteps sounded not far away, Yang Lian looked back, and before he could react, a body had already thrown himself into his arms and cried continuously.

Yang Lian patted her on the back and didn't speak.

"I thought I wouldn't see you anymore, but at that time, they all said you were dead." It was Princess Huairou who came, and she was crying.

Yang Lian's emotions towards her were very complicated, and seeing her like this at this time, her heart softened, and she couldn't help but smile, and said, "Don't worry, princess, my life is not so easy to die." ”

Princess Huairou cried for a while, sniffed the smell of blood on his body, and said, "Are you injured?" I'll see, hurt there? ”

"I'm not hurt, this blood is someone else's." Yang Lian laughed, took Princess Huairou's hand, and walked slowly in the palace.

Princess Huairou saw that he was walking calmly and indeed showed no signs of injury, so she relieved herself and asked, "Father seems to be in a bad mood." ”

"That's for sure, too many things have happened today, the Li clan has died one by one, and King Qi is a kind-hearted person, so it is inevitable that he will be sad. You don't have to worry, after a while, the trauma will heal. Yang Lian said.

Princess Huairou nodded and said, "You are also tired today, so you should go back and rest early." ”

"I'll send you back." Yang Lian said, continued to hold her palm, walked slowly, and unconsciously, when she arrived at the harem, Yang Lian let her rest here, and sent soldiers to wait, and continued to patrol the city wall. After a busy day, Yang Lian was indeed a little tired, but he knew that he couldn't rest yet, and when the situation was undecided, he didn't know when something would happen, so he would rather wait.

This night, Yang Lian occasionally closed his eyes to rest, and most of the time he patrolled the palace city, and before he knew it, the night passed like this. Yang Lian's eyes were bloodshot. However, the effort was worth it, nothing happened that night, the situation in Jinling City improved, and no one made trouble in the city at night.

Yang Lian asked his own soldiers to bring well water, he slowly washed his face, the cold water hit the pores, Yang Lian was refreshed, recovered some of his spirits, washed his face, and after breakfast, Yang Lian walked towards Li Jingsui's residence.

PS: The important thing is to say it again~~~ The book of the five generations has more than 500,000 words on the shelf, and now it is more than 1.6 million, and the average order has always been very pitiful, only a few dozen. This is because of my lack of level, when it was 700,000 words, the editor asked me to open a new book, but I refused, and when it was 1 million words, the editor asked me to open a new book, and I have been dragging it until now.

A friend in the book review section said that I hope to be able to write it, and my promise is to finish the story of the first stage. What is the story of the first stage, that is, the protagonist seized power in the Tang Dynasty and ascended to the throne. From the recent plot, you can also see some clues, so this book is about to end. In fact, the next story is to compete with Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin for the world, and restore the sixteen states of Youyun, but unfortunately, there is no chance to write it. Perhaps, one day, I will pick it up and finish the rest of the story, but not now.

For the next book, I will give two manuscripts to the editor, and I will try to publish the book in June or July. No matter which one it is, I still ask my friends to support me. Finally, thank you to the friends who have been supporting "Five Generations", there are still a few chapters, the book is coming to an end, at that time, I will write a so-called "finished" testimonial, thank you friends for your support!! Thank you!!
